The Museo de Iloko, (also called the Agoo Museum or the Agoo Presidencia), is a heritage building and museum located in Agoo, La Union,[1][2] Philippines, known for its collection of "artifacts and other pieces of cultural importance to the Ilocanos",[2][3] and for being one of few surviving examples of American Colonial Era architecture in the Ilocos Region.[1]

It is one of only two major public museums in the province of La Union.[2][4] The first floor of the building was converted into a franchise of fastfood giant Chowking[5] in 2013.[6]

Artifacts in the museum include religious paraphernalia connected with Archbishops Mariano Madriaga and Antonio Mabutas,[7][8] some personal effects of former president Elpidio Quirino,[7] and locally excavated Ming Dynasty artifacts.[7][9]
